History

Established in 2003.

Jessys Taqueria started as a small deli in the back section of Tienda Jessy's. The public's response was great and by January of 2007 the grocery store was transferred to the adjacent building and the deli turned into a taqueria. A bakery and a butcher shop were added to the operation, and by this time Jessys offered what you find in the menu today. September of 2009 Jessy's was awarded the best beef taco of all Hampton Roads by the VA Pilot creating a new wave of Jessy's-taco-lovers. In 2010 a small breakfast selection was added to the menu where you can find tortitas de tamal, bacon, egg and cheese and ham, egg and cheese breakfast burritos, freshly squeezed orange and carrot juices, and strawberry, banana and chocolate licuados. Today, Jessy's offers the best Mexican food in all Hampton roads, fresh and varied sweet pastries, tres-leches cackes, top quality meats and the best variety in mexican, central and south american groceries.
